Brady Leasing Leases Mechanical Equipment to Industrial Consumers Under Sales-Type

Brady Leasing leases mechanical equipment to industrial consumers under sales-type leases that earn Brady a 10% rate of return for providing long-term financing. A lease agreement with Patel Construction specified 20 annual payments beginning December 31, 2018, the beginning of the lease. The estimated useful life of the leased equipment is 20 years with no residual value. Its cost to Brady was $2,809,500. The lease qualifies as a finance lease to Patel. Maintenance of the equipment was contracted for through a 20-year service agreement with Southwestern Service Company requiring 20 annual payments of $9,000 beginning December 31, 2018. Hazard insurance with Jefferson Insurance on the equipment required $9,000 of annual insurance premiums. Both companies use straight-line depreciation or amortization.
